Trial summary

In the current study we aim to determine if early glucose screening and treatment among women at high risk for GDM improves perinatal outcome and decreases gestational weight gain. Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 45 years
  • Women only
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult

Who may be able to join

  • Pregnant subjects 18-45 y/o and Any of the following:
  • Obesity defined as having a BMI>30 kg/m2 History of pregnancy complicated with GDM History of pregnancy complicated with macrosomia First degree relative with diabetes Multiple gestation

Who cannot join

  • Incomplete Data: if any data is missing (i.e Delivery data) , analysis cannot be completed.
  • Pregnancy complicated with fetal malformations or aneuploidy: It affects prenatal care, mode of delivery as well as perinatal outcome.
  • Pregestational or Overt Diabetes: Patients with Diabetes cannot be diagnosed with GDM.
  • Chronic medical conditions such as hypertension, renal disease, autoimmune conditions: Those conditions may affect prenatal care, perinatal morbidity.
  • Early diabetes screen performed prior to enrollment in study: Participant cannot be randomized, and probably have been treated.
  • Medical contraindication to glucose tolerance test (bariatric surgery): patients with h/o gastric bypass frequently cannot tolerate oral glucose load, therefore cannot be screened for GDM in the traditional way.

About this study

Official title: Gestational Diabetes Mellitus: Does Early Screening and Treatment for Patients at Increased Risk for Gestational Diabetes Impact Perinatal Outcomes? A Randomized Controlled Trial

In the current study we aim to determine if early glucose screening and treatment among women at high risk for GDM improves perinatal outcome and decreases gestational weight gain. Half of the participant will be assigned to an early glucose screen group (12-18 weeks) and treatment if necessary and the other half to a standard 24-28 weeks glucose screen.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Early glucose screen groupOther

    Main intervention is randomization: half of the participants will be randomized to undergo a 50 gram oral glucose load with a 1 hour serum glucose measurement as a screen for Gestational Diabetes mellitus at 12 to 18 weeks of pregnancy instead of standard 24 to 28 weeks of pregnancy

  • Standard glucose screen groupOther

    Main intervention is randomization: half of the participants will be randomized to undergo a 50 gram oral glucose load with a 1 hour serum glucose measurement as a screen for Gestational Diabetes mellitus at 24 to 28 weeks of pregnancy

Study groups in NCT02377531
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Early glucose screen groupOtherParticipants with high risk factors for gestational diabetes, will be randomly assigned to an early glucose screen group: it consists of an oral load of 50 grams of glucose followed by a measurement of serum glucose 1 hour later, and if abnormal (higher than 130mg/dl), will undergo a 100 gram oral load of glucose followed by serum glucose levels drawn 1,2 and 3 hours after the load. If abnormal according to Carpenter-Cousant criteria, the participant will undergo standard of care for Gestational Diabetes.
Receives: Other: Early glucose screen group
Standard glucose screen groupOtherThe participants in this group will be randomized to undergo the testing process previously described at 24 to 28 weeks.
Receives: Other: Standard glucose screen group

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Composite Perinatal morbidity

    The primary study outcome is a composite of perinatal morbidities including perinatal mortality (stillbirth or neonatal death), neonatal hypoglycemia, hyperbilirubinemia, and birth trauma. Transcutaneous bilirubin is routinely measured at Tampa General Hospital (TGH) on all babies at least once. A value greater than the 95th percentile for or need for phototherapy at any given point after birth will be considered an elevated level. Birth trauma is defined as brachial plexus palsy or clavicular, humeral, or skull fracture.

    Measured: up to 28 days after birth

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Maternal weight gain

    Measured: up to delivery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Early glucose screen group and Standard glucose screen group in people with Gestational Diabetes, run by University of South Florida at 2 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Jun 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Composite Perinatal morbidity (time frame: up to 28 days after birth). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 2 Jun 2021.
